The mission of Chandrayaan-2 might have failed to accomplish successfully but it has earned the respect of the people. Celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Shah Rukh Khan among many others shared encouraging notes on Twitter as they applauded ISRO’s (Indian Space Research Organisation) efforts.
Amitabh Bachchan wrote on Twitter, “Pride never did face defeat..our pride, our victory..Proud of you ISRO.” The megastar of the south cinema, Kamal Haasan tweeted, “This does not tantamount to failure. In Research and Development, there will be a learning curve. This is that precious learning moment. We will soon be on the Moon, Thanks to #ISRO. The Nation believes and applauds ISRO.”

Shah Rukh Khan tweeted, “Sometimes we don’t land or arrive at the destination we want to. The important thing is we took off and had the Hope and Belief we can. Our current situation is never and not our final destination. That always comes in time and belief! Proud of #ISRO.”

Other Bollywood celebrities too tweeted in favour of scientists at ISRO. R Madhavan, who is shooting for his space-drama film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, tweeted and hailed the efforts of the workers involved in the mission. He wrote, “More than 90% of the experiment is on the ORBITER which, gods grace , is safely in the Lunar orbit. That is still fully functional and therefore The mission still very successful. #ISRO.”

India’s attempt to land a spacecraft at the moon, Chandrayaan- 2, began its journey on July 22. After revolving around the earth’s orbit for nearly 23 days, Chandrayaan-2 began its journey to the moon on August 14.
The soft landing of Chandrayaan-2’s Vikram Lander on the lunar surface was scheduled between 1:30 AM to 2:30 AM on Saturday, however it lost contact with ISRO’s Mission Control Centre when it was just 2.1 kilometres away from scripting history.
